Announcing Duel Decks: Venser vs Koth!

by Dredd77

Visitors to the mothership this morning were greeted with an especially interesting announcement in today’s Magic Arcana- the announcement of the next Duel Decks! Looks like it’s going to be a faceoff between two of the planeswalkers from Scars of Mirrodn- Venser, the Sojourner versus Koth of the Hammer.

Also of note, Wizards will be reversing the release order of the planeswalker and factional Duel Decks. Up until now the factional decks have been released earlier in the year, and planeswalker ones later. Beginning next year with this release, the planeswalker ones will come first.

I’m not sure how I feel overall with the notion of scrapping the factions. I haven’t really loved the choices thus far, but what are the alternatives? All-PW all the time would get stale. For some strange reason, some obscure tribal deck like Cephalids or Thallids would be intriguing, but I’m probably in the minority there.

Ertai seeing how organized your collection is, have you grabbed one of those “Limited” sort of panorama planeswalker ultra pro boxes? The 500 sleeved card one. See it on coolstuffinc and am considering it over a fat pack box for “cards I may use” storage.
